IAF, based in Reading, provides asset finance and leasing services, while ICS, headquartered in Guildford, offers invoice finance solutions.

Both units will now engage with the NACFB to “strengthen relationships between brokers and lenders,” according to the bank. The partnership is also expected to support compliance initiatives and promote professional development within the broker community.

Stuart Hughes, Head of Intermediary Relations at IAF, noted that the Patron membership “reflects our commitment to supporting brokers” and aligns with Investec’s broader focus on “helping brokers deliver the highest levels of professionalism and client service.”

The NACFB, recognised as the UK’s largest trade body for commercial finance intermediaries, has welcomed Investec’s involvement. Chief Executive Jim Higginbotham described the move as “a strong message to the industry,” adding that it acknowledges the Association’s efforts to represent both asset and invoice finance sectors.
